user can't do a checkout of newly created repository

Hello,

I am a newbie to subversion. I have used cvs for years and now would like to
use subversion. However, any user other than root and the user who initially
created the repository are unable to do a checkout of the newly created
repository. Here is the errors I get.

$ svn co file:///home/abc/subversion/repository1 testrepo
subversion/libsvn_ra_local/ra_plugin.c:161: (apr_err=180001)
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
subversion/libsvn_ra_local/split_url.c:109: (apr_err=180001)
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///home/abc/subversion/repository1'
subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:1586: (apr_err=13)
svn: Can't open file '/home/abc/subversion/repository1/format': Permission
denied

I have read the manual concerning permissions. And I believe I have them all
set correctly to give access to multiple developers.
Each developer using subversion is a member of the svngroup in /etc/group.

What am I missing?????

Thanks for any help,

Larry
